gogmagogAnother mini-post...I'm currently at the computer at the Tourist Centre in Kingston-upon-Thames, and I only have 10 minutes left of my allotted half-hour. (I also sent e-mails to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
satsu and my former flatmates Colin and Yasmin to see if they want to get together sometime while I'm here.)
Again, not much time, but I've spent today visiting Kingston and having loads of fun seeing all the places I went regularly during my year here. Current plans are to do something in central London tomorrow (Oxford Street, maybe? I'm going to try to get some kind of day-of tickets to that Othello production, as I couldn't get them through the service I originally tried), and visiting Canterbury on Wednesday. I want to see the cathedral (as it was one of the two archbishoprics, and Becket of course was killed there), and I guess they have some delightfully cheesy reenactment of the Canterbury Tales which sounds awesome (the reenactment of the Miller's Tale alone should be great, especially since it promises to let you "experience the sights, sounds and smells").
Plans after that are a bit more amorphous, but I'm definitely visiting Hampton Court while I'm here, and paying another visit to the British Museum and Library (on my last visit to the Library day before yesterday, I saw 2 original copies of Magna Carta, so I've now seen 3 of the 4 surviving ones). Also the aforementioned get-togethers will hopefully happen too. So I'm definitely keeping busy. XD
Anyway, I have like 2 minutes left, so time for me to sign off. Expect a detailed description of my trip, plus lots and lots of pictures, once I get back to Memphis next week. :D
